Should religion be taxed
Should Churches Pay Taxes?
Politicking from the pulpit would not bother me nearly as much if the religions paid taxes. Why should the income of a priest or rabbi etc be exempt from income tax? Why should religions be allowed to acquire massive amounts of land and of shares of stock etc without being taxed. That was part of the problem that led to the bloody French revolution. How is it different now if we have a class of people (clergy) who have the same privileges that the European clergy had in 1795?
